Many of the comments on this blog are complaining about how black cops treat other Black people in flatbush. Many of you think it has to do with black cops adopting a viewpoint, similar to what had happen in Apartheid South Africa. This story illustrates some of the comments.

Sgt. Reginald McReynolds, a 19 year veteran of the NYPD, was returning to his girlfriend's Bronx apartment with their Chinese food one night at the end of October when he was stopped by a rookie cop and his partner. Officers Kyle Bach and Joseph Azevedo, who are white, were responding to a domestic dispute call in the building. The perp was described as in his late 20s and weighing about 150 pounds; McReynolds is a 42-year-old black man weighing in at 275 pounds. Nevertheless, McReynolds says Bach "came right up in my face and said, 'What fucking apartment are you going to?'" It's no surprise that the ensuing exchange wasn't all that courteous, professional, or respectful. Read more
What do you guys think?

I think that if it had been that same black cop who was in uniform and was partnered with that same white cop and it was a regular black guy of the street, that black cop would have backed up his brother in blue 100%. These people have no honor unless it's their rights that are being violated.
Have you heard of this blog. This is a great article. It can also be said that allot of black police are trying to dilute their blood. There's allot of self-hatred in the NYPD. Be proud of who you are. Instead of trying to be a "model minority" an "honorary white" be a HONORABLE PERSON. Treat everyone like you would want to be treated. Anyway here is the article its a great read. Love your blog btw.

This cop is in the force for about 19 years. I bet he has plenty of white cop friends who've known this black cop for decades. Im not sure any of his "brothers" will take his side over a rookie they hardly know. The reason? The rookie is white. Most of these black cops can't understand no matter how hard they try to dilute their blood, they will still look like an inferior to a racist. Get a effin' clue.
White skin priviledge can't be had just because you are a black Sargent. Give me a break. That Sargent felt like he was somehow better than the black citizens that get treated like this everyday by the nypd. I'm pretty sure he's done his few shares of nod and wink good ol' boy I'm not like the other blacks chuck and jive dance. Moving on. Nothing to see here.
I don't think it's fair to automatically assume that the black sgt. Is an uncle Tom and deserves to be treated that way.
I don't think anyone is complaining about this black cop in particular. I have seen black cops on Church Avenue Q stop being as nasty as they can be to black people. This could have been any black person including any black cop that this rookie white cop did this to. They do it all the time. The black cops in the nypd think that somehow they are better. They are not. Anyone who thinks that they are better than anyone simply because of their skin color, job or pedigree is automatically a weak and inferior human being in my eyes. We all breath the same air, have the same faith ultimately. It's what you DO in this world that matters, not what you are. Expect to be treated like a person. Not because your
're white, a cop, black, asian,an "honorary white" or any other thing. Expect to be treated like a human being because you ARE a human being. And anyone (
including realtors, bloggers and condescending gentrifiyers
)who refuses to give you that full respect and acknowledge that fact is a lesser person than you.
Well said Kyle
Agreed!
I just don't think that it's all black cops who think that way. Are there some who think that way? Yes. Is it the majority? Nobody knows for sure. I would venture to say that there might be a significant amount of black cops who shun the black community. Why is that? I think it has to do with some type of new age white supramacism. It's not the white supramacism of the past. I would call it white supremacism 2.0 or white supremacist lite. You see all the time. The society is dominated and predicated on the lie of white supremacism to the point where even minorities are buying into that mindframe. Think about it. Look at Latin America and Asia. Look at some of the Asians, Hispanics and pacific islanders who for them their ultimate goal is to marry white. Do you know how pathetic that is? Your ultimate goal in life is to marry someone who is lighter then you. As long as we have minorities, blacks, Asians, Hispanics etc who continue to buy into this white supremacist 2.0 mind frame we will always have racism. I'm only one person. I can only change myself. I don't think anyone is better then me nor do I think I'm better then anyone. I don't put a primium on any race. I value people. Is that so hard?
Kwame thank you for pointing that out. It is true I'm Asian and I know this for a fact. Asians both men and women do put a premium on white. Not all. But the numbers who do are very large. There's even this Asian guy who has a website that teaches Asian men how to pickup white women. That is so absurd. What really pisses me off the most is when Asian guys who only date white women complain about white women not dating Asian men. They would even go as far as calling white women who don't date Asian men as racist. How sick is that? You only date one race and when that person from that race decides that they don't want you, they're the racist? It's the same thing with the Asian girls. Some of them want to date white because somehow they think the're going to be white by proxy. I think a majority of the Asian girls in park slope has that mentaly. It's a really eff up world out here man.
